Manzanares el Real Castle, also known as Mendoza Castle: Built in 1475 by order of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, 1st Duke of the Infantado, on the site of a former Romanesque-Mudéjar church. Its architecture is Isabelline Gothic, with a square floor plan, cylindrical towers, and an octagonal keep. It served as the palatial residence of the powerful Mendoza family, who even established a literary court there. Declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1949. Today it houses a Medieval Interpretation Center, with exhibits of tapestries, armor, furniture, and audiovisual presentations about life in the Middle Ages.

Characteristic landscapes of the Sierra de Madrid, including the Maliciosa, 7 Picos, and Pedriza mountains.

It is a key point when you go on a route to show the area to other cyclists

It is a good area for a quiet route without rushing... except for some sections with a lot of water where you have to walk.

Stop to rest after this big climb, take a breath and keep going. The views are spectacular.

This route is not for everyone, if you want a challenge, do it.

There is a nice viewpoint where you can see the Pedriza
